I
have come to spend a few moments with Thee, O Jesus, and in spirit I
prostrate myself in the dust before Thy Holy Tabernacle to adore
Thee, my Lord and God, in deepest humility. Once more a day has come
to its close, dear Jesus, another day which brings me nearer to the
grave and my beloved heavenly home. Once more, O Jesus, my heart
longs for Thee, the true Bread of Life, which contains all sweetness
and relish. O my Jesus, mercifully grant me pardon for the faults and
ingratitude of this day, and come to me to refresh my poor heart
which longs for Thee. As the heart pants for the waters, as the
parched earth longs for the dew of heaven, even so does my poor heart
long for Thee, Thou Fount of Life. I love Thee, O Jesus, I hope in
Thee, I love Thee, and out of love for Thee I regret sincerely all my
sins. May Thy peace and Thy benediction be mine now and always and
for all eternity. Amen.
